Archie
Campbell, a star and chief writer for Hee Haw beginning in 1968, also
recorded several hits for RCA during the '60s. Born on November 7, 1914, in
Bulls Gap, TN, Campbell studied art at Mars Hill College, NC, and in 1936 went
to work for WNOX-Knoxville's Mid-Day Merry Go Round. He moved to WDOD-Chattanooga
in 1937 and stayed until 1941, when he joined the Navy. Campbell returned to
WNOX after World War II, and added a Knoxville TV show called Country
Playhouse in 1952. The show ran for six years, after which he moved to
Nashville to join the Grand Ole Opry.
Campbell signed to RCA Victor in 1959, just after his Opry debut. He reached the
country Top 25 in 1960 with "Trouble in the Amen Corner," but later singles
flopped. He moved to Starday in 1962, but found no success there either. Another
stint with RCA beginning in 1966 brought the Top 20 entry "The Men in My Little
Girl's Life." Two other singles — "The Dark End of the Street" and "Tell It like
It Is" — hit the Top 30 in 1968, but Campbell's chart activity declined after he
joined Hee Haw in 1968. He recorded several comedy/music albums,
including Bull Session at Bull's Creek (with Junior Samples) and a self-titled
album for Elektra in 1976. He also hosted the TNN interview show Yesteryear
during 1984.
